Chapter 478: Trapped
An Zongyu in front of him died carrying Guo Rong in White Wolf Mountain,
The fifth round in the back again and again increased troops to Liaoxi,
In order to strengthen the defense of Liucheng and support An Zongyu, the fifth round had to draw troops and resources from the hinterland of Liaodong again and again......
For more than two months, under the continuous transfer, the hinterland of Liaodong has become an empty shell, except for a few important cities, the others have basically been in an undefended existence.
The fifth round of the Liaodong Peninsula blockade line, which was built with countless painstaking efforts, has also been weakened to the limit, weakened to the extent that even the fifth round does not dare to be deployed.
The situation in the rear is indeed not good, which is also known in the fifth round, but the situation in front makes the fifth round very gratifying.
More than two months have passed, and An Zongyu has smashed nearly 100,000 horses into White Wolf Mountain, and the ordnance, materials, and supplies consumed are even more numerous.
However, the Tang army commanded by Guo Rong was still blocked by An Zongyu on the front line of White Wolf Mountain.
Once in the fifth round, it was all worth it.
As long as you can firmly block the Tang army at the westernmost end of the Liaoning West Corridor, even if you block it for one more day, you can buy yourself one more day, and every extra day is valuable.
Even though the Tang army was unparalleled in combat strength, it was absolutely impossible to launch a large-scale attack in the bitter cold of Liaodong.
Just make it to winter!
used to be unswerving in the fifth round, until the rear of his own family came out of the Tang Army.
To be honest, when I learned that the Tang Army appeared in the rear, the feeling of the fifth round was that there were five thunders.
However, when he sensed that the situation was not good, the fifth round brought out his greatest strengths, composure and calmness.
It is indeed dangerous for the enemy army to appear in the rear, but the situation has not yet reached the level of direct collapse, so the fifth round did not blindly send troops at the first time, but chose to comprehensively investigate all the circumstances.
Not only investigated the front, but also investigated the rear, and conducted a round of investigation of the garrison of Liucheng itself.
The situation of the investigation and investigation is mixed, the good news is that the situation of Liucheng, which he directly controls, is good, the elite of 50,000 new formations, and the foot soldiers of 30,000 island countries are in good condition, and the combat effectiveness has also been improved recently.
The remaining more than 200,000 war scum, although the combat effectiveness is not expected, is basically full.
However, after strictly questioning, and even torturing the military academy returning from White Wolf Mountain, and learning the true situation on the front line of White Wolf Mountain, the fifth round was directly furious.
"Damn An Zongyu!"
This sentence condenses all the thoughts of the fifth round.
Because, he found out that An Zongyu tricked him.
Although the fifth round has been transporting soldiers, grain and grass, and ordnance to An Zongyu, the fifth round has not interfered too much in the battle situation in White Wolf Mountain.
First, even if An Zongyu temporarily blocked the Tang Army, he was still cannon fodder in the fifth round of the plan, he cared about the value of cannon fodder, but he would not care about the life and death of cannon fodder.
Second, at least on the surface, An Zongyu did a good job, out of trust and encouragement to An Zongyu.
However, the most important thing is the third point, after all, his fifth round is not in White Wolf Mountain, but in Liucheng, hundreds of miles away, with such a distance, remote command, this is tantamount to asking for his own grave.
So he didn't intervene too much in the White Wolf Mountain battlefield, however, he never dreamed that An Zongyu would take advantage of this to deceive himself.
An Zongyu did defend the White Wolf Mountain, but this so-called defense was not as he said, he personally led the soldiers and horses to defend the various camps.
It's because the Tang Army was already restrained!
In the first few days, the Tang army's attack was indeed fierce, in just a few days, several camps were taken, and more than ten miles were broken through, and the Bingfeng had approached An Zongyu's main camp in White Wolf Mountain.
Under the circumstances, if the Don army was willing, a single charge could crush the defenders, who were already on the verge of collapse.
However, when they arrived, the Don army stopped attacking.
Although it is not known why the Don army stopped the offensive, but
It was this short pause that undoubtedly gave An Zongyu a chance to breathe.
After cutting off hundreds of heads, Lu Longjun, who was defending White Wolf Mountain, finally stabilized the situation, and then began to counterattack the Tang army under the butcher's knife of An Zongyu's team.
The result of this counterattack was naturally predictable, under the frantic counterattack for three consecutive days, the camp occupied by the Tang army remained unmoved, but countless corpses were piled up.
When the Overseer could no longer suppress the ordinary soldiers, An Zongyu had to stop the attack.
An Zongyu stopped the attack, but the attack of the Tang army on the opposite side began, and the target was directly aimed at An Zongyu's main camp, which was the core of White Wolf Mountain.
With the bravery of the Tang army, it is not at all that the Lu Long army, whose morale is on the verge of collapse, can resist.
However, just when the main camp was about to be breached and An Zongyu was already desperate, the Tang army once again stopped the attack and withdrew directly.
The next day, the Tang army did not attack again, and on An Zongyu's side, if An Zongyu dared to force them to attack again, there was a high probability that they would mutini directly.
After a calm day, the Don army once again began to attack, and once again chose to withdraw on its own initiative when it was on the verge of breaking the camp.
By this time, An Zongyu had roughly understood something, and it happened that a reinforcement of 10,000 people sent by the fifth platoon arrived.
An Zongyu did not hesitate to send this support army to the front line.
After a day's attack, only 7,000 men were left in the 10,000-strong ranks.
The next day, they attacked again, but these 7,000 people attacked under the butcher's knife of the warlord team sent by An Zongyu.
By the end of the offensive, only 5,000 of the 7,000 men remained.
On the third day, An Zongyu made one last attempt and did not send anyone to attack.
Sure enough, without attacking, the attack became the Tang army, and the rhythm was the same as before, killing more than a thousand defenders and withdrawing before breaking the camp.
From this day on, An Zongyu began to force his soldiers to take turns to attack and send them to death every day, ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 every day, and never stopped.
The Tang army, on the other hand, was very cooperative in defending and not attacking, just quietly waiting for the rebels to come up every day to send them to death, quietly picking up the corpses, and then quietly continuing to wait for the rebels to continue to come to death tomorrow.
By this point, everything has become clear.
Guo Rong's thoughts, plans, and goals have been completed and reflected in the fifth round of minds.
Guo Rong, the damn guy, was not prepared to use White Wolf Mountain as a breakthrough from the beginning, but only used White Wolf Mountain as a bait to attract his attention and strength.
Regarding Guo Rong, as well as the strategy of luring the enemy head-on and sneaking behind the back, although he was helpless in the fifth round, he didn't say much.
After all, this is the battlefield, and it is the right thing to do everything on the battlefield, and the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and it is even more conventional.
[In view of the general environment,
I didn't see through Guo Rong's tricks, this is because my skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say about this thing, I admit it in the fifth round, but An Zongyu, this damn guy......
The fifth round did not believe that An Zongyu could not see the tactics and purpose of the Tang Army.
In fact, he also knew that An Zongyu did see Tang Jun's tactics, but after understanding it, he didn't tell himself all this.
An Zongyu not only saw this, but also saw more things......
An Zongyu knew that he was not the opponent of the wolf-like Tang Army under Guo Rong at all, and nominally the White Wolf Mountain was still under his control, but in fact, if he wanted to, the Tang Army could take it away at any time.
An Zongyu knew that he was a simple cannon fodder in the eyes of the fifth round.
If he honestly told the true situation that the front line of White Wolf Mountain might be captured by the Tang Army at any time, then the fifth round would not hesitate to give up his cannon fodder, and would not mobilize a single soldier in the direction of White Wolf Mountain.
And the situation on the battlefield has already taught An Zongyu that if he loses support from the fifth round, he will not be able to hold out for even a day
If you don't come down, your so-called impregnable and unbreakable defense line will be directly broken in waves.
As for the fate of An Zongyu after the defense line was breached, Guo Rong knew, An Zongyu knew, and the fifth round was also clear.
With this guy's deeds of playing Tang Huang, this guy's fate will definitely not be much better than that of Li Shidao, who has committed more than ten major crimes......
An Zongyu didn't want to die.
So he didn't want to lose the support he had from himself.
So after this guy straightened everything out, he didn't tell himself the real information, but tried his best to hide it.
This guy is trying his best to cooperate with the Tang army, on the one hand, he keeps sending people to death, so as to exchange for the Tang army not to attack, and at the same time, he keeps forcing himself to ask for soldiers, food, ordnance, and supplies for whatever he needs.
As for how An Zongyu can stably send people to death every day, there is no inquiry in the fifth round, but there is no need to ask, as the commander of the front line, An Zongyu has too many methods.
After understanding An Zongyu's thoughts and practices of preparing to drag himself to death together, the fifth round of hatred was gritting his teeth, and he couldn't wait to rush to An Zongyu now and directly devour him alive.
It's just that he woke up too late and reacted too slowly, and even if he killed An Zongyu now, it would be useless.
The only thing that makes him feel fortunate is that he has not completely lost, and although the strategic situation is bad, it has not yet reached the point of complete irretrievability.
Overall, the fifth round believes that there is still no mistake in their strategic layout.
On the front line of White Wolf Mountain, Guo Rong must be the main force of the Tang Army, the real formidable Chang'an Forbidden Army.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Tang army to fight so easily,
Otherwise, with An Zongyu and Lu Longjun, there would definitely not be any resistance in front of Guo Rong.
Of course, the reason why the first line of White Wolf Mountain is the main force of the Tang Army is not only on the front line.
After sitting in Liaodong, the fifth round is very clear about the path that can threaten Liaodong.
There is more than one path to enter Liaodong, whether it is the mountains of northeastern Liaodong, the Liaodong Peninsula, the Silla/Korean Peninsula, or even the Balhae Kingdom in the eastern part of Liaodong.
However, the northeastern part of Liaoning is still cold and cold, and it is the territory of the eastern Liaodong provinces, and the cost of large-scale forced marches in that environment is staggering.
The Liaodong Peninsula and the Silla/Korean Peninsula are not suitable for large-scale troop deployment.
From Liaodong to the east, the direction of the Bohai Kingdom can indeed be expanded on a large scale, but that is the territory of the Bohai Kingdom, and the road is too far, if the Tang army has the ability, it will fly directly above its head and kill itself.
Even if the Tang army was able to complete a surprise attack in the rear, how many soldiers could they have?
Thirty thousand?
Fifty thousand?
In the fifth round, I believe that 50,000 is definitely the limit of the strength that the Tang Army can come up with.
And what about yourself?
The entire Liucheng line,
I have a full 300,000 soldiers and horses,
There are millions of stones of grain and grass in the storehouse.
Dozens of large and small dock forts built inside and outside Liucheng City,
It can be said that Liucheng has been thoroughly managed into a fortress and fortress by itself.
The fifth round believed that his Liucheng was invulnerable, even if the main force of the Tang Army, those Chang'an Forbidden Army that looked scary and was actually even more scary, came and came, it was absolutely impossible to take it in a short time.
Therefore, the fifth round thinks that what he has to do now is to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Tang Army is still in White Wolf Mountain, send out his elite, and kill those Tang troops who sneak up on him from behind.
Although he doesn't care, it is not a good thing for his chrysanthemum to be exposed to the enemy's blade for a long time.
After clearing the hidden dangers behind it, he concentrated his forces and relied on Liucheng to keep the Tang army out of Liaodong.
The plan was beautiful, and the idea was beautiful, but the reality was more or less cruel, and the messengers and scouts sent to the Liaodong Peninsula and the hinterland of Liaodong were all lost in the sea without any reply.
The fifth round understands that this means that the rear has a high probability that it has been completely taken by the Tang army that has been sneak attacked, and even if it is not taken, there is a high probability that it will no longer have the ability to send troops and horses and recover.
The art of war is cloudy, and knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles.
And the situation faced by the fifth round is that the confidant does not know the other, and the risk is too great.
However, the reality of the situation does not allow the fifth round to wait.
Liucheng is now as stable as Mount Tai, and the Tang army has only just taken the hinterland of Liaodong, but what if they are given a few months?
In a few months, the Tang army laid a solid foundation, and then it meant that Liucheng would become a lonely city.
With a complete loss of external contact and support, it is only a matter of time before he is defeated.
As a last resort, the fifth round had to take the risk of sending troops.
Compared with the hinterland of Liaodong in the northeast, there was already a Tang army in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Last year, I just took over Liaodong, and there were all miscellaneous troops in my hands, and there was not much to do in the fifth round in the face of the opponent's defense, but now, it's different.
The 200,000 miscellaneous cards composed of the Liaodong rebels, the Liaodong tribes, Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo people are still miscellaneous cards, but the part of their own combat effectiveness is not what it used to be.
The 50,000 newly formed elites, the 20,000 soldiers of the island countries, the 20,000 mercenaries of the Liaodong tribes, and the more than 10,000 disguised soldiers and horses of the Bohai State can basically reach 80 to 90 percent of the combat strength of the Tang Army's soldiers.
These soldiers and horses will definitely not fall behind in a head-on confrontation with the Tang army in the field, and now, the other side not only does not defend the Liaodong Peninsula, but comes out on its own, which may be a risk, but it is not a kind of hope.
As a result, the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula, where the Tang Army was stationed itself, apparently became the main direction of the fifth round of settings.
40,000 newly organized elites, 10,000 island soldiers, 10,000 Liaodong tribes, plus 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers as auxiliaries, a full 80,000 horses under the command of the fifth round, set off from Liucheng and went directly to the Liaodong Peninsula in the southeast.
And Yu Qian brought Mo Lingjun accurate information about this army.
